  • Speculating on Whether Regehr Should be Traded by the Flames reggie

    Based on a few comments on the Illegal Curve radio show, I put up a post on Matchsticks & Gasoline yesterday about the Flames potential to trade Regehr and why it’s time to do so.

    The article is posted here.

    Below is an excerpt from the article.

    “Now before everyone gets their guard up and says Regehr is [...]

  • Jay Bouwmeester: Disappointment or Not Used Properly? J-Bo

    This is a story I posted on Matchsticks & Gasoline as part of our player preview series.  Come take a look at some of the other articles if you’re interested.

    Sometimes things just don’t work out like we thought.  Items bought on eBay looked better in the picture than when they arrive in the mail, your [...]

  • Fireman Ed Should Pour a Stiff Drink fireman ed

    Rex Ryan may be the king of the F-bombs, but he better use as many as he can during the regular season.  The Jets won’t be making the playoffs.

    The Jets used up all their luck last year.  There are no playoff-bound cakewalk games at the end of this season’s schedule.  Opposing kickers are all out [...]

  • What is Darrelle Revis Worth to the Jets? revis

    Revis Island can be a lonely place for receivers.  At the moment it’s also a lonely place for a Darrelle Revis.  The man who was hands-down the best defensive player in the league last year is not practicing or spending time with his teammates, and it HAS to be a frustrating way to follow up [...]

Favre Hasn't Saved Anything, He's the Problem

favre

It’s Wednesday, and I’m still seeing articles and blog posts on how Brett Favre saved Brad Childress’ job on Sunday.  I can understand that Favre was the centerpiece of a fantastic comeback, but he didn’t save a damn thing.  As usual, the majority of the media is in love with “The Old Dongslinger”, as Jason [...]

Is “Matty Ice” Still the Best QB from the ’08 Draft?

Like any sports fan, I’m prone to making quick judgments on a player after watching him perform for only a few minutes.  That’s what I did last Sunday while watching Matt Ryan struggle.  I didn’t like what I saw and posted the following on Twitter: 

“Matt Ryan just doesn’t look good.  Starting to wonder if he’s [...]

Is Arian Foster the next Terrell Davis or Olandis Gary?

At this point in the NFL season, it’s always fun to stretch our projections a little.  Did you know that Peyton Manning is on pace for 6,928 passing yards this season?  Arian Foster is on pace for 3,696 yards rushing, CJ who?

That said, the Texans’ Arian Foster did obliterate the Colts rushing defense and has [...]

Jason Campbell’s Impact on the Oakland Raiders

JC - Oakland

Last year, the only thing that made watching the Oakland Raiders bearable, was drinking codeine syrup.  This year it might be a different story. 

In the 2009-10 season, the Black Hole referred to the Raiders’ quarterback position.  It’s where passing went to die. 

While it didn’t get a lot of hype as a top offseason acquisition, the [...]

Terell Owens Impact on the Bengals

It’s as if the Bengals were trying to make a last ditch effort to steal Hard Knocks from the Jets.  With the media-addicted Chad Ochocinco already on the roster, Cincy has opened the door to both Pacman Jones and now Terrell Owens.

While the addition of Owens may make a few people shake their heads for [...]
